- Echelon Fitness is capitalizing on demand for its at-home stationary bicycles that are both cheaper and more readily available than Peloton products, which remain mired in supply chain delays.
- The company reported in September that sales have increased by 700% year-over-year, an increase in demand CEO Lou Lentine said the company was prepared to handle, thanks to the launch of a serendipitously timed new factory and additions to its staff.
- "When the pandemic hit, we were ready," Echelon CEO Lou Lentine told Business Insider. "We started production in [our new] factory six months early and we were able to keep up."
- Despite making headlines over its tumultuous partnership with Amazon earlier this year, Echelon's products can be found in more than 3,500 retail locations, including Dick's Sporting Goods and Costco.
